When I had my weight loss surgery they kept frantically posting a call for a "Code Purple". I'd heard of Code Pink, etc. but had never heard of Code Purple. I texted my friend who is a Nurse Practitioner and worked in a different hospital at the time-she said it was usually for a psychiatric emergency or a violent visitor or patient.
Interesting. At the hospital where C was born a Code Pink is an emergency c section. As a humorous aside, when we were leaving the hospital the nurses forgot to take off C's baby lo-jack bracelet so we got in the elevator which triggers the alarm and then the announcement came on that the hospital was on lock down and we had to wait a few minutes for it to be cleared before we could leave. Whoops.
Adam was a preemie and when he kicked off his babylojack, a nurse put it in her pocket. She left for a break or something and the place went into massive lockdown. It was cray!
